Abstract

A refrigerator which is designed to suppress drying or oxidation to create an improved storage environment therein for food and which has increased volumetric efficiency and increased cooling efficiency. A cold storage chamber, a vegetable chamber and a freezing chamber are arranged in the refrigerator in the order mentioned as viewed from top. The freezing chamber has cold air introduced thereinto from a first cooler and a first blower and the cold storage chamber has cold air introduced thereinto from a second cooler and a second blower, so that both chambers function directly as cooling chambers. The vegetable chamber is provided at its top with a thermally conductive cooling plate which is cooled by the action of forced convection caused by the second cooler and second blower so as to radiate low temperature within the chamber, so that it functions as an indirect cooling chamber which is cooled by natural convection effect. Therefore, the refrigerator has high preservation performance, exerting quality retention effects corresponding to the storage suitabilities of foods.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a refrigerator partitioned into three or more storage rooms in the vertical direction. Background technique [0002] Refrigerators in recent years are equipped with a plurality of storage compartments managed according to the temperature of stored food. At present, it is the mainstream to configure the freezer in the upper part, the refrigerator in the center, and the fruit and vegetable room in the lower part. Recently, a refrigerator with a refrigerator compartment in the upper part and a freezer compartment or a vegetable compartment in the center and lower part has been proposed and has become the mainstream. Due to the emphasis on health in recent years, refrigerators with vegetable and fruit compartments in the center are the mainstream, making it possible to pick and place fruits and vegetables at the most convenient location. [0003] Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 8-338681 discloses a refrigerator...
